I would think a lot depnds on where your getting it. private party could be around 1000. engine companies or shops would be higher I imagine

Whatever you're willing to pay. I haven't seen them for under $1000, and that price only goes up when the mileage goes down. Looking for one? I went the LQ4 route. Almost complete with harness, 05 with 105,000 miles, I paid $850.

I had a buddy do my install--dirt cheap. To pull the old and install new and get it running was $500, plus whatever parts were needed--oil, plugs, gaskets etc.
